[Value of cytologic examination in diagnosis of focal lesions to the liver and pancreas].

Four hundred fifty three percutaneous fine-needle biopsies (FNB) guided ultrasonically of the focal lesions to the liver and 418 to the pancreas were subjected to retrospective analysis. Biopsies were performed with the aid of real time ultrasound equipment ALOKA SSD-280. The needles of 0.7 and 0.8 mm in outer diameter were used for the aspiration. Smears were fixed with alcohol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined under light microscope. Specimens suitable for the examination were obtained in 97% of liver biopsies and 90% of pancreatic biopsies. Sensitivity of FNB in the diagnosis of hepatic and pancreatic carcinoma was 97% and 91%, respectively. Its specificity was 100%. ENB efficiency in the diagnosis of the focal lesions to the liver was 98% and in case of the focal lesions to pancreas -95%.

[Ultrasonographic images of liver neoplasms--comparison with histopathological findings].

Ultrasound pictures taken in 100 patients with histologically confirmed primary of metastatic neoplasms of the liver were analysed retrospectively. The most frequent were hyperechogenic foci (43%). Hypoechogenic foci were found in 33% of the patients whereas mixed changes in the liver scans (hyper- and hypoechogenic) in 22%. Thirty seven per cent of the hyperechogenic foci were attributable to metastatic process. Hypoechogenic disorders were most frequently due to the primary cancer of the liver (20%). Mixed lesions were mainly produced by the cancer of large intestine and liver (41% and 27%, respectively). Metastases into the liver produced all three types of ultrasound pictures. The obtained results confirm the opinion that ultrasound picture of metastatic liver tumours is not suitable for the diagnosis of the type and origin of the neoplasm.
